our sister city, riattsmouth.
Solve Water Problem.
With failure of the crystal lake
which Weeping Water depended on
for water, the well which was dug

packing and seemingly the water is
inexhaustible, for it keeps supplying

well and with both well it is expect
ed the problem will be solved, for
the present at least.

D. J. Schuyleman, pastor.
Golden Text: "Be thou faithful
unto death, and I will give thee the
crown of life." Revelation 2:10.
10:00 a. m. Sunday school hour.
"The execution of Stephen was the
first Christian martyrdom," but we
have "Modern Forms of Persecution"
today and such is the title of to
day's lesson.
11:00 Morning worship hour. No,
there is no mistake in the time set
here. Although many preferred the
reversed order of service, it worked
a hardship on some of our country
friends. Therefore, beginning with
todaj we shall go back to our old or
der of service. Our thoughts for this
hour will be directed to the question
of "How God Directs Them Who Love
and Obey Him."
5:30 The young people will meet
to go to Lincoln and find fellowship
and new inspiration at the Assembly
Epworth League Service which is in
charge of the district cabinet. We
must be here on time so that we will
not be late in arriving at Epworth

the Quarterly Conference met in the
church basement for a covered dish
luncheon. In the afternoon we had
an enjoyable and inspirational mes
sage, "A Glimpse of General Confer

Spooner. The message was followed
by the usual business meeting. Re
ports from the different departments
of the church were heard, and the
committees and leaders for next year
elected. We wish more could have
been present.
Financial Clean Up: We shall be
gin to close the financial business of
the year on July 27th. We must
average about $6.50 per family or
possibly a little more to clear our
books and start the new year w ith a

ficial service, so characteristic of the
true followers of our Master, all
things are possible!
